Electrical Engineering Applications with the TI-89
David R. Voltmer, Mark. A. Yoder, Texas Instruments, 1999, ISBN 1-886309-25-6
(TI Explorations series, university electrical engineering, $22.50)
"To Students:
"This book is written for electrical engineering students. It is a collection of examples that show how to
solve many common electrical engineering problems using the TI-89. It is not a textbook; if you do not
know how to solve the problem, look it up in your textbook first. If you do know how to solve the
problem, this book will show you how to use the TI-89 to get the answer with more insight and less
tedium. We show you how to use the TI-89 in class, in lab, on homework, and so forth.
"To Instructors:
"When writing this book, we resisted the temptation to show how the TI-89 can be used to solve
problems in ways that differ from standard electrical engineering texts. Although it has the power and
ability to approach many problems in new ways, that was not our focus. Our focus is to help students
learn the basic material better by showing them how to use the TI-89 to do the tedious things so they
don't get lost in the details. Our approach was best summed up by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz when, in
the 17th century, he said, "It is unworthy of excellent men to lose hours like slaves in the labor of
calculation." "

Engineering and Technical Math on the TI-92: Electronic and Electrical Applications
Charles R. Adams, David Hergert, Texas Instruments, 1997, ISBN 1-886309-10-8
(TI Explorations series, High school and university electrical engineering, $22.50)
"This book was written to show the power of the TI-92 for electrical and mechanical students at the
vocational and two year technical level. Also included in the text are highlighted sections appropriate
for engineering students.
"The goal of the authors is to help students customize the TI-92 for electrical applications. The TI-92's
rich set of mathematical and engineering features make it far superior to any other calculator of its
kind. The instructions in this book on formula entry, graphing, data collection and display, the CBL
utility and report writing will help students and technicians fully utilize the TI-92's capabilities.
"This electrical volume shows the most commonly used formulas for electrical technicians and
engineers. It works as a great supplement to textbooks on circuit analysis and electronics.
Some of the features of the TI-92 are highlighted through examples, including:
!
Introduction of vectors and phasors using-the powerful Vector tool from the Geometry menu.
!
Use of PopUp list boxes which allow students to select colors for the resistor color code, and
material selection for resistivity.
!
Use of the powerful solve utility to rearrange Ohms Law and the Power formula. This should be of
great use to high school students not yet adept at algebra.
